The University of Arkansas Razorbacks baseball team, sometimes referred to as the OmaHogs or Diamond Hogs, are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and are currently coached by Dave Van Horn. The program started in 1897, and is in its 92nd season of play (67th consecutive) in 2014. Arkansas is one of only four schools in the SEC to turn a profit from its baseball program in recent years, along with SEC Western division rivals LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Many large schools such as Iowa State, Colorado, and Wisconsin have dropped their baseball programs because of financial losses.
The Diamond Hogs have been to 28 NCAA tournaments and eight College World Series: 1979, 1985, 1987, 1989, 2004, 2009, 2012, 2015.
The Razorbacks play baseball home games in Baum Stadium at George Cole Field, which holds 10,737. Arkansas was the first program in the nation to have an average attendance over 8,000 for the course of the season. The Razorbacks sold 10,727 tickets for a game against LSU on May 5, 2007. Baum Stadium hosted NCAA regionals three of the four years between 2008 and 2011.
